Two hundred years since the birth of Charles Darwin and a hundred and ﬁfty years since the publication of
”On the Origin of Species”, the theory of evolution is now a conceptual cornerstone in a wide number of areas
of research outside its original ﬁeld of application. Evolutionary biologists, linguists, physicists, economists,
and social scientists nowadays use the notions of evolution and adaptation in their research. In each of those
areas, the mechanisms behind the relevant dynamics (stochastic appearance of mutants, cultural innovations
or social strategies, inheritance or spread of a new variant, and selection through competition) take a speciﬁc
form that, nonetheless, shapes the structure and organisation of each system in a way that can be recognised
as arising from ”evolutionary dynamics” in its broadest sense. These anniversaries seem an ideal opportunity
to bring together researchers from the variety of disciplines which now use the evolutionary paradigm, to
review progress, learn from each other and initiate new collaborations.

Applications for participation and contributions are welcome and should be made by using the application
form. The number of attendees is limited. The applicants’
registration fee for the workshop is 100 €. Costs for accommodation will be covered during the workshop.
Limited funding is available on request to partially cover travel expenses.
